A cable car from town whisks you up to Sorebois at the heart of the local ski area,
from which a network of blues, reds and blacks radiate out to a lofty 2896m. The main attraction however is the lift-served off piste, which is excellent, as well as the epic descent down to Grimentz via the Chamois black – which drops a thigh-burning 1326m of vertical. This then accesses another pod of long, steep slopes which after fresh snowfall transform into an off piste paradise. Catch the long cable car back, the same cable car that linked the two resorts in 2013 to form the Val d’Anniviers ski area.
In town there are a handful of hotels, rustic chalets to rent and a number of newer accommodation options – but all of these are still tastefully designed.
There are some good, traditional restaurants to choose from in town and also on the hill, but off slope activities are relatively limited in comparison to other Swiss resorts as skiing is very much the focus.

Snow Overview
Switzerland
Updated 11/03
Some seriously snowy and unsettled weather is moving in over the Swiss Alps in the coming days, bringing some good totals to many areas. The best of this can be found in the east, where around half a metre of snowfall can be expected down fairly consistently over the end of this week and into the weekend.
Further west, snow will fall but will be more limited, with a few flurries down on Wednesday and few more over the weekend. Sun will break through more in this part of the Swiss Alps, whereas cloud cover will be more consistent in the east.
The temperature will fall over the course of this week, starting around 2,000m but dropping to sea level by the weekend, ensuring this snow reaches all slopes across the region.
